Revamping!

As you can see, I’m in the midst of re-vamping my blog.

So firstly I have to apologise for the colour combination in the previous posts as they were selected based on the white back ground.

Well, I’m currently doing the finishing touches to my blog.. so hang on!! :)

Holidays so far

“Shopping is a woman thing.  It's a contact sport like football.  Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase.”-Erma Bombeck

 

So another week has passed. How did I spend it? Well basically, I watched Angels and Demons as well as Terminator this week. I also spent some time to clear out my closet and getting rid of some clothes which means I need to go buy more clothes soon.Today I cleaned up the shoe rack and realised that I need white heels!

I think I’m gonna spend an entire day at Times Square doing nothing but shop, SHOP and SHOP!

I watched Terminator yesterday and it was so much FUN! I mean it was action packed and things were exploding here and there and it was heart pumping AND an ARNOLD look like terminator was in the movie!!! I actually laughed when I saw that. The movie was nice but OMG, there was this kampung sitting behind me and they couldn’t shut up! I was soooo irritated! They kept yapping and yapping and laughing their asses off as if they were in a mamak or something! I mean, if you wanted to do that, GO TO THE MAMAK! Not sit in the movie and make noise. Then this guy shushed them and they shut up.

Another thing which was annoying was the fact that an irresponsible parent brought a child ( maybe like 3 or 4 y.o) to the movie and the child was crying. You know how kids that small cry, they sound more like screamings and screechings AND the parents did absolutely NOTHING to calm the child down. I mean, as a parent, shouldn’t you be responsible for your children? Unfit parents!! hmpphh!!!

Oh well, after all the drama, ppl finally got settled in and I could finally enjoy the movie.

I also did something very sinful yesterday. I ate at Wendy’s. Which means I stuffed my face with unhealthy fat-filled fast food. :(

So I’m detoxing my self today.

Oh, do you want to hear something ironic? I went over to Sweet Chat to makan something sweet and I ordered Sago Pudding and guess what? It was NOT SWEET! I mean, the name of the place is SWEET CHAT, so I assumed that the food would be..well SWEET?? Iliterally felt like puking it out! It was all milky and not sweet and yucky! I should have just picked the pulut hitam instead.

I think I need to shop soon. There are so many things I need. I think I need like 2/3 more pairs of shoes..A girl can NEVER have enough shoes you know.. Oh, and I need new clothes.. AND I need new accessories.

Oh Gosh! So much to do and so little time!

whatever

Results were out today.. Yay!!

I wasn’t exactly over the moon about my results, coz I aimed for all A’s and didn’t get all A’s.. :(

This means I didn’t get 4.00..so sad..nvm..I’m still happy with my results.I’m still thankful and grateful for what I achieved.

Although there is ONE subject which I expected an A for and didn’t get an A and I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tak puas hati over it, but one bad miss out of 8 subjects is OK i guess.

I dunno.. I’m not upset over my results or anything, I was just “Oh, OK” when I saw it. I think that there is something wrong with me. I think I’m emotionally stunted or something. You are either happy with it or upset with it and I’m just “whatever” with it. There is something wrong with me isn’t it?

I should be happy with my results, instead I’m just not affected by it at all. Isn’t that weird or something?

I don’t understand me.

I think I need to shop. Shopping helps me find the happy-me in me.

Now I’m just talking nonsense.

Oh well, hope everyone else did well and passed as well. :)

A Dark Day in Idol Land

“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.

Dearly beloved,

We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of our Idol, Adam Lambert. His loss in the Nokia theatre echoed across the seas and mountains and was felt here, in the very heart of Gombak. In my house. A dark cloud has been cast upon us Adam fans. And I pray that we, more importantly, I, will recover from this traumatic experience soon.

Adam was an amazing singer, had the best vocals in the competitions, and yet America claims that it is not good enough to win the title of  ‘American Idol’. A title which was meant to be given a person with the best vocals. This is by far the biggest upset in Idol history. I had to endure the painful screechings of Kris Allen singing ‘No Boundaries’, as I stared at the TV with disbelief. How could this have happened?

You think I’m being biased? Even Simon Cowell did not stand up to acknowledge Kris’s victory. What can I say? I wasn’t even able to vote for Adam. Kris can sing, but Adam is a better singer and that is a fact. You can never run away from facts.

Let me analyse how the two of them sang yesterday.

In round 1, Adam did a spectacular job with ‘Mad World’ and so did Kris with his song. At that point I thought that this was going to be a tough fight. Then came round 2, where, in my point of view, Kris butchered ‘What’s going on’ and I preferred the All-Star version of that song a million times compared to Kris’s version. And Adam did well compared to Kris. So my spirits were lifted. Then came round 3 where Adam practically BLEW Kris out of the competition. And that was when I thought, Adam sealed the deal in becoming the next American Idol. How very wrong I was.

I never knew that the American Idol voters were a bunch of deaf people. Since they were voting for a SINGING competition, proper hearing capabilities are often needed.

In case you haven’t watched the show, make sure you pay close attention to Kris’s reaction when Seacrest announces that he won. Even he was in a state of disbelief. Even he knew better. Even he KNEW that Adam was suppose to win.

Almost 100 million votes came in, and until now I still can’t find out by how much did Kris win it. I am not going to say that the competition is rigged, because deep down inside, I should have seen this coming. Let me list out the reasons why Adam lost.

1. The Idol voters are partially deaf

2. The tweens would have voted for Kris cause “he so cute”. (Damn you hormone-raging tweens!)

3. Kris got the Christian vote as he happens to be a worship leader.

4. The Homophobes voted for Kris.( People need to be more open minded)

5. Adam’s goth look scared away the Grannies.

And that is the most that I can think of in this troubling times.

All I can say is that Adam didn’t need to win Idol. He is already famous and a star in his own league, BUT, since he entered the competition, it would have been nice to see him win it. America got it wrong this time.

Well, at least we will know where Kris is heading towards….

 

Go to fullsize image

Yea, that’s right. He is headed down the path which Taylor Hicks and Ruben took. The path which leads the AI winners to become Nobodys in no time. Oh,let us not forget that Fantasia also walked down that path.

Now I shall return to my dark corner in my room and continue to mourn Adam’s loss today.

Love,

Lambert vs. Allen : The Most Bizarre AI Finals!

Ok, so here it is, just hours away from the finale of American Idol. I’m so excited, I just can’t stop talking about it. This time around, I think it’s gonna be greater than last years David vs. David showdown. People are going to vote, this time around, not only based on the vocal capabilities of each singer, but also their character. Which is why I said that this time around, whoever America decides to crown as the “Idol” will say a lot about how open-minded the Americans are. I was reading an article in The Star today which mentioned something about Kris being a worship leader or something like that which means, he will be receiving votes from religious Americans. I say this because I think that extremely religious people are usually the ones who have issues accepting homosexuals and Adam being one, and Kris a religious person, it is most likely that they will be voting for Kris. Not to mention the oldies who are facing difficulties in accepting homosexuals into the society. I remember watching Regis on YouTube where he questioned whether Adam should be allowed to be on the show now that pictures of him kissing another guy were being circulated around the internet. Now this is something that I noticed, the older generation seems to be uneasy with the fact homosexuals are able to be open about their sexuality, I mean, the younger generation seems to be able to acknowledge the fact that there are homosexuals out there and so what? But this is not the case with the older generation. I feel that there should be more articles published to educate the public about homosexuals. If this is not done, discriminating homosexuals, in my point of view is the new racism.

Ok, back to AI! Having said that Kris is going to be receiving the votes of the older generation, the religious people, the homophobic people and the young girls with raging hormones who think that he is “soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!”. Well, I’m not saying that Kris is a bad singer, I’m just saying that during the early rounds I predicted that he would leave before Anoop and I didn’t think that Anoop would last very long so yea, I’m kinda surprised seeing him in the finals. But I’d rather see him than that Gokey guy who I think was exploiting the fact that his wife just passed away. I mean, we all get that he just lost his wife and I’m not being insensitive or anything, but this is a SINGING competition, not a show for you to remind us a million times that you’re heartbroken over your wife’s death.I know I sound like harsh bitch, but I don’t need a constant reminder of how sad he is.

Let’s analyse Kris and Adam now shall we,

Kris Allen

Best performance to date would have to be his version of ‘Heartless’. If you haven’t heard it yet, go listen to it and make sure you listen to the Live version of the song. I literally melted when I heard him sing. Out of no where came this voice which could calm you soul and make you all jello and stuff. I was like “Wow”. I can’t really comment on his other performances cause I always don’t pay attention when he’s singing, I would be either talking to my mom or chasing pumpkin around the house. If Kris is able to sing like how he did for ‘heartless’ for all of his songs tonight, I say he will give Adam some good competition. But I don’t think he can snatch the title away from Adam.( I’m sorry for being biased here, but I happen to be an Adam fan if you didn’t know already)

Adam Lambert

*screams*

I’m crazy for Adam! Give me half a chance and I’ll marry the guy!! *screams more*

The best performance of Adam, for me personally would have to be ‘Mad world’ and ‘If I can’t have you’. The guy has killer pipes! Most amazing vocals I have ever heard!!! I think he’s better than David Cook ( I happen to be a Cook fan as well).And mind you, in my world, not many people can be better than David “The God” Cook. If we lived in a fair world, he would win, but the fact remains that the world aint fair, and hopefully, people will see pass all the gay stigma the society has and VOTE for ADAM LAMBERT.

I pray for Adam to win. But at the end of the day, I can’t VOTE.So, may the best man win. You never know, maybe Adam will screw up tonight and Kris will do everything right. ( I pray that it wont happen). Omg!!! i just can’t wait!

Remember to watch the results show LIVE on StarWorld tomorrow at 8.00 AM.

On The Road Again

“Everybody wants to be a cat”

Hello people!

I travelled to Ipoh and back in a single day. Yay! Never liked staying over at my aunts place anyway. Let’s just say I don’t like my relatives cause I think they’re screwed up and thank God they don’t read blogs. Not mine at least. Anyway, the trip to Ipoh was fun, although I never got to execute my plan to scatter the notes along the highway because my parents wouldn’t allow it. :( but it was fun.

We had Chicken Rice for lunch and I must say, no trip to Ipoh is complete without having the Chicken Rice there. But I discovered a shop somewhere in Ipoh town where they served up delicious DimSum and Char Kuey Teow. Yummy! A trip to Ipoh is indeed a gastronomical one. In my List of places with Good Food in Malaysia, Ipoh is like at 3rd place, cause Penang will forever be at the number 1 spot and Gombak/KL is at 2nd place.

With food nicely settled in my stomach, I had nothing much to do around my aunts house so I was lounging around when I got this song stuck in my head. How many of you guys watched The Aristocats when you were kids?? You might be able to remember the song which goes “Everybody wants to be a cat…” and I can’t remember the words to it cause I last saw it when I was 12 or something. I had that song stuck in my head the whole time today, so yea, I was like this retarded person walking around my aunts house singing just that line. And now I’m all nostalgic and am attempting to download the movie and watch it (yay!) If you guys need a flashback moment to remind which movie it was, it was the one with the talking cats in it. And i think it was a 1970 movie..not sure..but it was old. I just love old disney movies like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and all those cartoons cause they remind me of when I was like 4/5 years old and my parents will leave for work and my mom was teaching the morning session of school so she would leave me and my brothers with the nanny and supply us with the tapes of all the cartoons (Yes, we used TAPES!?!! Can you imagine how ancient that is???) to keep us occupied till she gets back which was usually around 1.30pm. Gosh, I miss my good ol’ days..

Anyway, after searching high and low, I finally found the lyrics to the song which is still stuck in my head and now I can sing along to it!!! *giggles* Actually it wasn’t hard to find.. Thank God for google and the fact that I no longer live in an age where we use TAPES to watch movies via the VCR!

Sing along if you can cause I know I can! :)

“Everybody wants to be a cat”

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at.
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.
A square with that horn,
makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days.
Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at;
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
Everybody digs a swingin' cat.

p/s: For those who took the “How well you know me quiz”, I recently started wearing make up, I know that may contradict my previous statement, but I’m a girl, we like to play around with stuff. I am currently just into mascaras and want to achieve the Adam Lambert look with the eye liner, but my mom said, “I raised a daughter, please look like girl, not like a hantu” So I don’t think I’ll be trying out the Goth look anytime now.. :(

2nd Day of Hols!

I spent the whole of yesterday shopping and watching Wolverine. And I did it in 4 inch heels which only means that today, my feet are like blistered and aching. ( Never shop in 4-inch heels! I just never seem to learn the lesson..*sigh*)

Anyway, yesterday I bought myself my very first clippers!! ( Yes, I know I’m late, but I was busy before so I din have the time to get one) And I had lunch at Papa John’s.

Go to fullsize image

Lunch was OK onlyla.. I mean, there was this hype about Papa John’s being an American franchise and all, I expected to get the whole American Pizza experience and all.. but it was so… normal.I mean it was different in the sense that provide you with the tomato relish-kinda dipping sauce for the breadsticks and the bread sticks looked different as in, bigger and tasted quite nice, but the pizza, in my point of view, tasted like something you could get from Domino’s or Pizza Hut. I had Papa’s Super Chicken, maybe if I had the cheese one, it would have tasted differently, I dunno.. but the food was average. The setting was nice and cosy and the waiter and waitress were nice and helpful. But it felt so normal that I don’t think I’ll be going there again just for pizza, maybe their pasta is nice, I dunno cause I didn’t try it.

Today I cooked lunch!!! Yay!! Being away from the kitchen for so long made me miss it. Cooking is so much fun I tell you.When you mix stuff in the wok and see the colours mix and they look so yummy… Today I learnt something, when making mix vege, add mushrooms first because they take time to cook and you need to get their flavours out, if you don’t give them enough time, the flavours won’t come out. And after that only add the broccoli, baby corns, carrots and other veges. And then I added my own mix of sauces to it and it was delicious!! :D ( Syok sendiri..lol)

Owh, yesterday I bought The Simpsons pasta from cold storage!! It cost me 8 bucks but who cares??? Its organic and they are in the form of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie’s head!! LoL! Can’t wait to cook them! When I do, I’ll take a picture of it and show it to you.

I’m gonna watch the Sudirman Cup now, its Malaysia vs. China and my mom predicts that China is gonna trash Malaysia 5-0. I still have hope that even if we lose, we won’t be like 5-0, maybe 3-2 or something like that. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see now don’t we??

Going off to the north tomorrow for the holidays and will only be back maybe on Monday. So till then, take care loves!

Love,

Bygones

Let bygones be bygones

So here it is, the day which I have been looking forward to since the start of this year- The END of semester 4.

In past 2 weeks there were some  “genius” moments which is something I believe we all encounter every now and then. I was also suffering from this phase, I know this is gonna sound crazy to most of you, but I actually kinda enjoyed the exams…

I know!!!! I’m such a FREAK!!! There was like a point when I started to wonder if there was like something wrong with me or not..I mean, what the hell is wrong with me???!!! Who gets like all excited over exams???!

I have no idea what took over me, but whatever it was, it’s gone now.Thank GOD!

Anyway, since I wasn’t able to blog for like the past 3 weeks or something, I felt sooo deprived of the joys of mumbling nonsense online! But it’s all over now! :D

The past 2 weeks were kinda like hell to me cause in the first week, we had like 4 papers and from Monday till that Friday I only got like 4 hours of sleep a day which was crazy because my body was too heaty and even when I practically drowned myself with water I kept falling sick and getting fever like everyday! Which is even more stressful cause I needed to study and the fever, the heatiness and the lack of sleep is constantly accompanied with a killer headache!! like OMG!!!

This semester was kinda different compared to last sem cause last sem, I was psychologically freaking out but this time around I was able to stay calm and hold it all in and I was so surprised with how well I was able to handle the stress. I mean, I did not freak out, not once, during the entire course of the exam! This is something new to me because I always freak out, and I also found that when you remain calm, you will answer the questions better. There was this time during MEQ for GI where they asked for the side effects of dronabinol I think and I went totally blank so I was writing nonsense on my paper, you know, the normal “ Nausea, vomiting..” and then suddenly, like a light bulb lighting up, I remembered the side effects!! I was so freaked out about that after the exams, I mean, it literally flashed in my head!How cool is that?!!

Ok, fine, enough with the exams already!! So I kinda made this list of stuff to do after the exams and here it is!!!

Movies to watch

1. X-men Origins ( Which I’m watching tomorrow!!Yay!)

2. Angels & Demons

3. Star Trek

4. Harry Potter

Books to read

1. Plain truth –Jodi Picoult

2.Nineteen minutes – Jodi Picoult

3. Vanishing Acts – Jodi Picoult

4. The Gift -  Cecelia Ahern

Shows to catch-up

1. Grey’s Anatomy

2. Gossip Girl

3. Ugly Betty

4. Supernatural

5. The Biggest Loser ( You guys should totally watch this, it’s so fun to watch people get yelled at on TV!!!LoL!)

6. American Idol

7. Wipe out (Its the one on AXN and its funny!!)

8. The Tudors

9. The Hills

So yea, I’ve got a lot of things to do. And not to mention the finale for American Idol is around the corner!!!!!!! *screams for joy*

But I just can’t believe that it is Kris and Adam in the finale!!! I mean, it was suppose to be Allison and Adam!! But who cares?????? As long as Adam is there I’m cool.

By the way did you know that Adam is Gay?!?!!! And I had a crush on him…:( How sad is that?!?! having a crush on a Gay guy. Why are all the hot ones Gay???

Go to Yahoo, set the search bar to images and type in  Adam Lambert and you can just scroll down the results page to see what I’m talking about. Warning: If you are homophobic, then you should not try it.

View ImageView ImageView Image

Adam is so HOT!!!!*screams*

By the way I need to decide what to do with my notes.

Should I:

A. Burn them

B. Scatter them along the North-south highway when I go back to Ipoh this weekend

C. Feed them to Pumpkin

D. Keep them for future reference.( My Dad told me to do this one)

Oh well, I have TV to catch up with. And a bunch of recently downloaded movies to watch.

Cheers! And Happy Holidays!

Love,
